Great "Cell" Resources!!!! external image cell.jpe




1. Mallery, C. (2009, April 1). Cell theory. Retrieved from http://www.bio.miami.edu/~cmallery/150/unity/cell.text.htm

This site, Cell Theory, offers a great explanation of the cell theory and the theorists who discovered it!! The site contains many links within the text to direct the reader to more detailed explanations of each topic.

2. Mazarallo, P. (1999). A Unifying concept: the history of cell theory. Retrieved from http://www.nature.com/ncb/journal/v1/n1/full/ncb0599_E13.html

A Unifying Concept: The History of Cell Theory gives a detailed description of how the cell theory came about and those responsible. It isn't a "fun" site, but it definitely informational!

3. ForgeFX, Initials. (2009). 3d plant and animal cells educational simulation. Retrieved from http://www.forgefx.com/casestudies/prenticehall/ph/cells/cells.htm

3D Education Simulation is an interactive site that explains the parts and the functions of the plant and animal cells. This is a good way to engage the viewer!

4. Singer, S. (2007, June 6). Transport in and out of cells. Retrieved from http://biology.kenyon.edu/HHMI/Biol113/passive_vs_active.htm

Transport In and Out of Cells shows different examples of how active and passive transport work. This site gives great examples of different daily life activities that involve both forms of transport.
5. BrainPOP, Initials. (2009). Cellular genetics. Retrieved from http://www.brainpop.com/science/cellularlifeandgenetics/

Cellular Life and Genetics is an interactive website that has many different topics on cell structure and processes. This has fun-to-watch video clips that easily explain these topics.

6. Teachnology, Initials. (n.d.). Cells cryptogram worksheet. Retrieved from http://www.teach-nology.com/worksheets/science/cell/cry/
